Successful H1b Visa Interview in Kingston, Jamaica

[Aarthi99]

Hello all,

Thanks to Murthy Forums and all the guys who spend their quality time and give their valuable suggestions.

 

I am on EVVC model with NON IT Background working for a financial firm. Initially I planned to go to Vancouver consulate but then I have changed all my plans as my client was not providing me with a Client letter or email.

 

I attended my interview on Oct 30th at 9 AM in Kingston Jamaica consulate. Below is my interview experience

Thanks Sri.

Yes one guy got 221g, but I heard they will process it within 2-3 weeks. However I am not sure and it all depends on each individuals case. 

I don't know details about transit visa. Sorry for the delayed response. Good luck.

Thank you.

PIMS should be updated if your planning to go for stamping. There wont be any issues if your with in US but  better to check with company attorneys if they already updated your PIMS. Good luck.
